The cost of keratoplasty (corneal transplant) in Israel typically ranges from $10,000 to $14,300. Prices vary depending on the type of transplant (full-thickness or partial, such as DALK or DSAEK), the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic’s reputation. In the United States, the average cost is $22,500 (per AAO). This means keratoplasty in Israel is about 46% less expensive than in the U.S.
Israeli clinics generally include pre-op evaluation, donor cornea costs, surgery, anesthesia, and follow-up visits in their packages. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgery, with separate bills for the donor tissue, anesthesia, and post-op care. Patients should confirm exactly what each clinic’s package includes before booking.
